Started taking prednisone and major increase in sex drive-- i had zero libido before but i ache for it? sorry-- can the pred cause this?

Listen to your body: If Prednisone corrected a deficiency you had that lowered libido, then the correction restored the libido. It is not a direct effect of prednisone.
